The two on-demand tours are sightseeing tours of Hanoi and Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh.

On the occasion, local travel agencies have started pilgrimage tours to Tam Chuc - Ha Nam and neighbouring provinces for Buddhists and visitors.

During the celebrations, Vietravel will undertake and administer all promotional activities, and coordinate transportation, accommodation and air ticket services.
